Strava rides onto podium at Breck Epic

A huge congratulations to one of our Colorado members, Hank Pool. He and Nick Howell recently placed third in the Men’s Duo division at the Breck Epic, a 6-day ultra-endurance mountain bike stage race held in the backcountry surrounding Breckenridge, Colorado. It looked to be a fabulous event with some tough international competition. Approximately 200 miles of racing… 40,000 feet of vertical… And all at altitude (almost all riding was done above 10,000 feet!)

Here’s Hank’s blog of the adventure: http://team303racing.blogspot.com/ In particular, check out some of the photos. How about those snow fields in July?

And here’s the Strava link to the various stages: http://www.strava.com/athletes/39 Take a look at the HC climb in Stage 5. Ouch!

Hank has some more great racing coming up – He is currently winning the Winter Park MTB series with several races to go. And in September he will be doing the 12hrs of Snowmass with another Strava member, Jordan Kobert.

Lastly, a call out to the Strava Nation – Hank has been trying to get into Leadville for a few years now with no success. Does anyone have a Leadville connection? If so, please email Strava and we will connect you with Hank.

Congratulations once again to Hank – Nice riding!
